St. Frances de Chantal parish builds a Brutalist concrete church designed by Paul W. Reilly
The Roman Catholic parish of St. Frances de Chantal, founded in 1927, built its present Brutalist church at Harding Avenue and Throggs Neck Boulevard in 1971 to designs by Paul W. Reilly. Albinas Elskus (1926-2007) designed its abstract stained glass, with colorful chunks of glass set straight into the concrete in the manner of postwar European glasswork.
